Susan Harbage Page

Thanks to Jane Booth for paying such close attention to my work in this new article about the U.S.–Mexico Border Porject. I was delighted to meet her a year or two ago when she was working with the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.

The Archive as Evidence

––Elizabeth Diamond, “The Archivist as Forensic Scientist,” (1).

The archival art of Susan Harbage Page (b. 1959) takes on the perspective of expert witness in order to testify to the trauma at the United States-Mexico border. Harbage Page’s larger work examines the border as a site of collective trauma through the presentation of photographs and objects found during the artist’s trips to the Rio Grande Valley in southeast Texas.

I am excited to share the news that this article about my work was published on Saturday in the national Italian newspaper "Il Manifesto." 

The article is part of a special edition of the arts section focusing on the U.S. presidential election and the devastating Trump years. The section also features work by Andres Serrano, Joe Wilkes, Greg Iles.

Manuela De Leonardis writes about our "Wall of Shame" and the most recent evolution of the U.S.–Mexico Border Project which I began in 2007.

So pleased to be a part of the Art and Vision Summer issue of the Southern Cultures Journal edited by Teka Selman. Deborah Willis wrote a beautiful essay about my Gold-Leafed Passport. The meaning of my passport seems to be changing daily with new Covid border restrictions. Check out Teka's essay Seeing in the Dark.
